Solid Gold Berjangka | Asia-Pacific markets rose after Wall Street jumped overnight, following U.S. inflation data that largely met expectations.

The U.S. consumer price index in February climbed 0.4% on the month and 3.2% year over year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Tuesday.

Economists polled by Dow Jones had forecast a 0.4% increase month on month and 3.1% year over year.

Core inflation, which strips out food and energy from the headline reading, climbed 0.4% in February, compared to a forecast gain of 0.3%.

In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 started the day up 0.24%, extending gains from Tuesday.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 rebounded to rise 0.73% in early trade, while the broad-based Topix gained 0.79%.

South Korea’s Kospi climbed 0.48% after its February unemployment rate came in at 2.6%, down from January’s figure of 3%. The small-cap Kosdaq was up 0.1%, on pace for a fourth day of gains.

In contrast, futures for Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index stood at 17,067, pointing to a weaker open after the HSI recorded a gain of over 3% and closed at 17,093.5.
